Life After Layoff

[Omega Supreme]

Finally, the gene-pool has a lifeguard!

Are there any good jobs where you work that might be a good fit for someone like me, entering their golden years?

Part-time maybe? Not too stressful. With lots of benefits and time-off? An active retirement job?

I know that at my company most of the hiring was done from within. People already working there would bring their friends in.

Can you get me into your company? May I call you friend?

I’d really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

I heard somewhere that asking yourself the question “What did you want to be when you were growing up?” could provide a clue to your destiny.

The problem is how do I translate this into a viable career.

I was also inspired by:

I used to run around with a towel as my cape pretending like I was flying.

I hope to come back stronger:

I need the right team around me:

Together we can do it!

I’ve never had any friendships that lasted.

I’ve always been alone.

Maybe if I had developed more of a human connection with those I worked with, I might have lasted a little longer.

I did not fit in. I did not interact with others.

I wonder if I would have been more likable and gregarious, and sociable, I would have survived the chopping block.

I did not invest in real friendships at all.

I really enjoyed Scott Adam’s Dilbert comic strip. I wish they would bring it back. I could use all the humor I can get in my present condition:

You’re welcome prematurely.

Can you get me into your company? May I call you friend?

No.

Sometimes I feel like this character:

It’s make me wonder sometimes if it might be better to accept that dreams are over and that they’re probably not going to come back.

And to just let it go.

f u wanted this conversation to end with affirmation & coddling you should have said so from the beginning.
I’m not a cactus expert, but I know a prick when I see one…

maybe you want to bias a transistor someday? call back then - we're not your shoulders to cry on.

I’m sorry. I was looking for sympathy and comfort.

I miss my mommy and daddy.

I was hoping for affirmation and coddling.

I apologize for feeling sorry for myself and not acting like a man.

I wish I could be as strong as you guys.

Please forgive me.

I’ll try to do better.

I’ve learned through this experience that people hate and despise weakness.

And they will deal with such accordingly:

Can a girlfriend or wife provide you with the emotional support after a layoff?

They say that behind every successful man is a woman.

I feel like Delta Prime hates me this much:
